Description
This isn't your typical "how to write" book. Author Dinty W. Moore, a well-respected writing coach and teacher, thoughtfully illuminates the creative process: where writing and creativity originate, how mindfulness plays into work, how to cultivate good writing habits and grow as a person, and what it means to live a life dedicated to writing.
The Mindful Writer features bite-sized essays that will delight and inform not only writers, but also other artists, mediators and mindfulness practitioners. Built around heartening quotes from famous writers and thinkers, it is a resource that readers will turn to again and again for guidance and encouragement.
This edition includes a new introduction exploring the centrality of mindfulness in a writer's practice and craft as well as a selection of writing prompts to get you started on writing mindfully right away.

Reviews
"Advice books for writers are a dime a dozen but Moore provides a fresh approach with this melding of Buddhist teachings and sage career and life lessons for those who devote their lives to the written word. This is a compact book of practical and philosophical truths for both novice and veteran writers."-- "Publishers Weekly"
"Never be without it--as reference, as balm, as talisman; to refresh, encourage, comfort, and instruct. It's a trove of treasures. Professor Moore--insightful, funny, and true--cheers us on like the teacher and friend he is."-- "The Gamut"
"Small but powerful--a welcome addition to many writers' desks, and an inspiring and supportive gift."-- "ForeWord Reviews"
"There is something fresh and undeniably appealing about these bite-sized morsels, which expand the writer's experience to a broader, human one."-- "The Writer Magazine"
